CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Subaru Akehoshi
Canon: Ensemble Stars!!
Canon point: Satellite, stuck in a jungle. It's a long story.
Age: 18
History: Character page, along with story appearances from ! and !! respectively.

Personality: Subaru's personality definitely matches his looks: He's warm and cheerful, outspoken and outgoing, and friendly towards anyone he meets on first impression. He's very much a positive force, always looking at the brighter side of a situation if he can and holding on with single-minded determination to what he feels is "right" and "just". This can come with bad points, though, as he's not the type to give up, it's easy to more or less ruin himself... and with how much emphasis he puts on friendships, having them and making them, something like separation and loneliness destroys him pretty thoroughly.

However, he's also... like, stupid. Seriously stupid. It's mostly because he acts on his heart over his mind more often than not, always dashing ahead first to do what he can if a friend's in trouble or bothered, but it's not like he's a complete idiot either for what it's worth; Subaru has a knack of reading people and seeing through their words, able to get to the heart of it no matter how flowery or turnabout it can be. He's able to do it especially with people he knows well, but even in his first meeting with someone as tricksy as Natsume he was able to perceive the other with certain clarity.

That doesn't mean he's the type to quickly point it out though or anything like that. In fact, it's quite the opposite: If it's something that sounds pretty but isn't, like tempting offers or serious talks about this and that, Subaru's prone to claiming he doesn't understand such high talk and difficult concepts, when in reality he knows them very well. He's a sharp person, and his grades are one of the higher in his class on top of that, so it's very much a person who can do whatever he wants if he has an interest in it.

And once he's got an interest in something, it's pretty hard to sway him off it... He's someone who's strict not only on himself but on others as well, assuming they're at the same level or at least reaching toward it, and while this does well to push on some to greater heights it can rub the wrong way with others, and he's well aware of that – Subaru would never want to hurt someone with what or how he says things, but he's aware he has done so in the past and seems to be a little more cautious about it with certain people, or at least making sure he hasn't grated on someone if they seem a little put-off by his nature.

Speaking more on the determination bit, Subaru's a force of nature that'll stick to his guns no matter how unpopular the opinion is if he feels it's the right one. It's a trait he shares with his father, who refused to be helped through less than legal means to be freed from the prison that ultimately killed him, all because he knew it wasn't right to accept offers like that. Despite that, he's not one who holds grudges all that easily -- but he doesn't forget transgressions either, keeping a sort of wariness from memories.

This is most obvious in Autumn Live, when Ibara's schemes start to come to light in trying to essentially steal Trickstar from Yumenosaki and ultimately bring them into CosPro's agency as a continued powerhouse, a tactic that had been used in the past with students who thought the schools beneath its touch were the better future. While Subaru doesn't seem to hold it against Ibara, from then on he's pretty much never really wanting to be around the other because Ibara gives him "creepy feelings" and the like, which is about as much as you'd get on anyone Subaru disliked.

Other things that he dislikes, oddly enough, are things that he does himself? He loves to give people nicknames and act touchy with them, a very physical and affectionate person, but hates it when it's done toward him first. The important part, it seems, is that, that they act before he does. Chiaki Morisawa, the captain of his basketball team, is a very physical and touchy person just like Subaru himself, but Subaru always complains about it; the same is said about Arashi Narukami of Knights' clingyness, when he's just as clingy. It's an interesting contradiction which could be put down to a matter of control over a situation, as it's seen when Subaru starts to lose that due to outside forces he's rattled and prone to panic. A small symptom of a larger problem.

All in all, Subaru is but a teenage boy with little issue of personal space and a good heart, who wants the best for everyone and to spread smiles and happiness the way his father and other idols have, working hard so he can achieve a dream his father ultimately failed to grasp, SS... No matter how often he's thrown off his game, he has faith in his friends and in others to get by, and sincerely thinks that powering through as they've always done will eventually end up in victory, though he can recognize that that isn't always the case either (while his friends point this out, more or less acting as his reminder for things he knows but doesn't want to admit). For all his idiocy and all his stubbornness, there is a shining child who easily lightens the mood, who can befriend almost anyone in a day, who might've been afraid of being close to others due to the bullying of his past but envelopes himself in it now, that intimacy and love.
Powers/abilities:
- He can sing and dance like, really good. His specialty is hip-hop.
- Subaru's nose is like no other's, apparently, because while he can't tell girls apart by their scent (Kaoru) he's able to smell a coin a mile away and... honestly, he can pick apart fragrances better than a human should. He is in all ways but physically a dog, I cannot stress this point enough.
- As far as athletics go, despite his average height Subaru's managed to straight up dunk a basketball. He's called the star of the team — and not just because his name's got two of them in it.
- Can turn from puppy dog cute to a real handsome fucker in a flash. This is definitely a power.

Questions: may be written icly as the character or oocly as the player; please limit to maximum 5 sentences each
✽ What does your character consider to be their top three strengths?
His friendliness, his reliability, and his smile.
✽ What do others consider to be your character's greatest weakness?
Haha. Maybe how he tends to push aside any and all negative feelings he's got, frustrations and whatnot towards others, as it's pointedly the one thing that his friends consistently prod him about when times are rough.
✽ What are your character's three greatest fears?
Being unable to do what he wants, being in the dark alone, and losing those important to him.
✽ What would your character choose for a last meal?
His mom's homemade cooking.
✽ Has your character ever killed? If so, how did that affect them? If not, how would it affect them?
He hasn't! But it was said that his dad did, and that was awful. If Subaru did kill someone though, I think he'd more than likely tell someone immediately; it'd guilt on him too much, and this is one negative thing he wouldn't be able to get over... Especially since a lot of the rumors during the first SS were that he would follow in his father's (framed) footsteps, so it'd be more than rough on his psyche.
✽ If your character was given one selfish wish (eg. must be applied to themselves and not affect others), what would it be?
To be able to be on stage with his father, side by side as idols.
